    -The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters (During Roy Jones Jr vs John Ruiz)

    -Generally when there's a lot of smoke... there's just a whole lot more smoke.

    -He broke his legs. His legs are broken (During Lewis-Grant, Grant gets up seconds later and continues to fight)

    Foreman: Look at De La Hoya's shoulders
    Lampley: What about them?
    Foreman: Look at them. They're massive.

    Foreman: Antonio Tarver is just as fast as Roy Jones
    Lampley: Oh I don't know about that
    Foreman: Oh yes he is, with that uh straight left hand...(followed by awkward silence)

    -Roy Jones is playing the feinting game and Griffin is benefiting by it (Seconds before Jones knocks him out)

    -Oh you better look out for those rich guys. They eat Caviar but they sure are tough. I wouldn't mess with those rich guys. (During De La Hoya-Vargas)

    -All he needs is one big punch (Every single HBO broadcast)

    -Hopkins is tired now. His back just touched the ropes. (During Hopkins-Trinidad)

    Foreman: You gotta admit, we're watching this great fight and it was Larry Merchant, who never stopped talking about the rematch, that's why the fight is happening
    Merchant: You think I brought in these 13, or 14 thousand people George?
    Foreman: Oh yes you did
    (While Barrera-Morales go toe to toe in the 12th round of their second fight)

    -Go get me a sandwich and sit down (To Teddy Atlas)

    Foreman: These guys are big for middleweights
    Merchant: They're light-heavyweights George
    Foreman: Light-heavyweights

    -I have De La Hoya and his piston like jab winning hands down (While DLH is clearly losing to Mosley)

    -He should punch him in the chest, saps all of your opponents energy away (Every HBO broadcast)

    Lampley: Can you believe Jack Mosley is telling his son he is winning the fight
    Foreman: Oh yes he is
    (During the last round of Forrest-Mosley 1)

    -Torres can take Cotto's best shot (second later Cotto knocks Torres down)

    -Oh there it is! He's been looking for that punch all night (Camacho lands a soft left hand against De La Hoya in the 12th) Lampley says something like "come on George"

    Lampley says something like Hopkins doesn't look to be tiring
    Foreman: Oh yes he is
    Lampley: What are the signs Hopkins is slowing down?
    Foreman: When he went back to the corner and laid his legs out, Trinidad is still sitting in a upright position

    -De La Hoya has a better jab than Quartey (Says De La Hoya's jab is so hard it is more effective than the plethora powerful jabs Quartey is connecting with)

    -You never follow a puncher (Every single HBO broadcast)

    -Jones can beat any of these heavyweights. I don't care if their 6 foot 12 (During Jones-Ruiz)

    -Believe me, Lewis is hurt right now (Seconds later Lewis knocks down Ruddock)

    -Shane better be careful he doesn't get intimidated by those trunks. Sometimes you see a guy with trunks like that and you go wow (During Mosley-Stone, Stone is wearing tiger print trunks)

    -Barkley can still turn it around (After Barkley had lost 10 rounds to James Toney)

    -Ledwaba is a master boxer, he should use it to his advantage and box (a few rounds later) Sometimes you cant rely on your boxing abilities and fight the guy (During Pacquiao-Ledwaba)

    -All this backing up that Hopkins is doing saps his strength and you need all of your strength against a puncher like Trinidad (In the 10th round after Hopkins dominated the whole fight)

    -Oscar's jab is much better, much sharper. Everyone talks about this great jab Quartey has, I don't see it (Even though Quartey is winning the early rounds of their fight)

    Foreman: I don't like the way the sweat is rolling off Jones head
    Lampley: What don't you like about it? (Clearly confused)
    Foreman: It's just rolling off...pitifully
    (During Roy Jones vs Eric Lucas)

    Yeah I like george but he wasnt very good at commentating, when I watch hopkins vs trinidad and see hopkins put on one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen foreman keeps ruining it for me with his commentating.
     
  3. Big George was hilarious but he was just a fun goofy guy. But we did get to see him **** his fist and ready to KO a scumbag at the Bowe-Golota riot which was classic TV.
    I like when George once said "Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand."
    Also he said
    "Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it"

    "The Internal Revenue Service is the real undefeated heavyweight champion."

    Whatever street Micky Ward grew up on, you better get a drink of water from there if you want to be a fighter...eat whatever grows there.

    During Hamed v Barrera after the turnbuckle incident.

    Jim "I don't think he likes him George".

    Big George "I don't think you like him much yourself Jim".
